The draw for the Champions League has been made and Arsenal have been handed quite a tough pathway to the final in Munich.
Their last 16 opponents are Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven and even though that game in itself will be tough, it is nothing compared to our potential quarter-final opponents.
The winners of the Arsenal v PSV last 16 match-up will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.
If the Gunners can overcome PSV in the last 16 and whichever Spanish giant they are up against in the quarters they will then face one of Liverpool, Paris St Germain, Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the semi-finals.
To win the Champions League you have to face the best at some point but the way the draw has worked out Arsenal is certainly in the toughest half and they can consider themselves unfortunate that they were not drawn against Feyenoord and placed in what many will see as the easier half.
Let us know in the comments below what you think about the draw and if you believe that Arsenal can now go on and lift Europe’s biggest club prize.
It is what it is.
If we have a fit and complete squad, we can do it. Arteta and his coaching crew needs to begin training Merino on center half training, it’s all hands on deck and all the players need to earn thier wages.
Im very optimistic as arsenal is a club that rises to the occasion when required, the other side is that we disappoint when we are regarded as favourites. So I’m hoping it’s real madrid then Liverpool. Then we beat Barcelona and lift the Ucl.

Porto won the champions league with Morhino at a much longer odds
Our chances are as good as any
If not RM it would likely have been BM, our nemesis.
